From the reviews of the second edition:“This highly anticipated second edition … is a very complete review of animal behavior concepts related to insects. … The book includes 28 detailed case studies that explore several specific situations (laboratory and/or field research), along with the methodology used. … contains 173 black-and-white figures and 45 color plates. The Matthews’ highly didactic writing style makes this book useful to researchers, students, and even laypersons interested in the topic. … Summing Up: Recommended. All libraries.” (J. M. Gonzalez, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), July, 2010)“For anyone studying or interested in animal behaviour or insects, this is a must-have reference book. … Each chapter is … split into sub-divisions that help locate relevant information quickly. … Numerous case studies include a handful new to this edition, focusing on research relevant to the associated text. … As a comprehensive reference book, I would recommend this text to teachers and undergraduates in the field of animal biology, ecology, entomology and anyone interested in insects or animal behaviour.” (Janet Preece, The Biologist, Vol. 58 (2), 2011)

52 Reflections on Church History

The Weekly Historian

’Much has been written about gender and security, but no text available does the work of this impressive collection. Centring the writings of scholar-activists, some of the most challenging issues in global feminist politics and policy are identified and analysed, not least addressing notable contradictions and debates. The breadth of the material is impressive, but so is the theoretical nuance - all presented in a remarkably accessible manner.’ Abigail Bakan, University of Toronto, Canada  ’The Search for Lasting Peace is an important contribution to the ongoing debates about peace as more than the absence of war, and to the many different contemporary gendered experiences of continuums of multi-layered conflicts and fragile peace. It is also an important scholarly contribution, as it actively seeks to mix academic contributions with reflections from the field. This mix of academic insight with real life experiences of conflict makes it a truly interesting read.’ Sari Kouvo, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium  ’How might peace activists and politicians become better informed about the impact of the present Human Security agendas and their interpretations and applications, on women, their families and their networks? How might they promote a better understanding and strategies for greater equity and justice for all? How can they inform policy makers and therefore advocate for a new gender-responsive Human Security agenda and actions? For reframing these important questions and for the passionate voices of 12 excellent scholars in The Search for Lasting Peace, I recommend this book to everyone interested in working towards justice and peace for all, in a compassionate world.’ Arpi Hamalian, Concordia University, Canada  'The story illustrates not only the gendered nature of contemporary violence but also the inadequacy of global efforts to tackle widespread insecurity in large parts of the world. This book is a welcome effort to interrogate the idea of h

Critical Perspectives on Gender-Responsive Human Security

The Search for Lasting Peace

'The author explains why major shifts in theater history have tended to follow revolutions in communication - from orality to writing, to print, to electronics...Highly recommended.' - CHOICE

"Tobin Nellhaus's Theatre, Communication, Critical Realism is a thought-provoking addition to the literature on theatre historiography.The central claim is simply stated: changes in a culture's communication structures cause shifts in theatrical practice. Nellhaus's approach, though, is far from ordinary; he critiques foundational assumptions of historical theory and offers a new and useful method with which to question agency, structure, and causality. His case for this new perspective is solid, and its applications are well-demonstrated and clearly presented." - Theatre Journal

"Nellhaus's book is a clear-headed, compelling and important addition to our understanding of the causes of historical change and the intersection of philosophy, theatre and communication theory. It offers a unique and productive perspective on a complex and difficult topic and renders it in a provocative and readable form." - Contemporary Theatre Review

'Theater, Communication, Critical Realism cuts to the root of many of our current confusions as a discipline. Chief among its virtues are Nellhaus's critiques of two of our primary scholarly orientations, technological determinism and social constructionism.' Bruce McConachie, author of Engaging Audiences: A Cognitive Approach to Spectating in the Theatre

'The first book that takes an explicitly critical realist approach to theater studies, Theater, Communication, Critical Realism provides a compelling articulation of critical realism within an embodied dynamic that is often found wanting elsewhere . . . One encounters here, among other things, sophisticated case analyses of theater history that at the same time suggest paradigmatic shifts in the practices of theater historiography; a provocative deployment of recent discoveries made in cognitive sciences such as those on 'image schemas' in the light of critical realism that historicizes the question of experience, possibilities of knowledge, and conditions of agency; and a highly original theory of metatheatricality that is about the socio-culturally specific structural origins of historical changes in theater as in society, i.e., about the ontological condition of social change and the theatrical nature of such changes . . . Charged with an invigorating critical rigor, this book makes an important contribution to the fields of theater studies, critical theory, and cultural historiography in the midst of paradigmatic shifts. This book is also a timely contribution to the humanistic studies' quest for relevancy in the midst of another round of revolutionary changes of communication structures with unforeseeable consequences.' Haiping Yan, Professor in Theatre Studies, Cornell University and author of Chinese Women Writers and the Feminist Imagination, 1905-1948

'Written by the most formidable and articulate spokesperson for critical realism in theater studies, this work is astute, provocative, and absorbing.' David Krasner, Associate Professor in Performing Arts, Emerson College

"Victorian Occultism and the Making of Modern Magic provides a comprehensive account of the historical roots and philosophical underpinnings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. From Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and Egyptian magic, to Victorian innovations and inventions, such as making magic collaborative and more egalitarian, Butler's study provides a missing chapter in the history of the occult in the West. I imagine that Butler's Victorian Occultism and the Making of Modern Magic will make a useful reference for all interested in the Victorian occult and the history of magic in the West for years to come." - Sarah Willburn, Victorian Studies

"...an important addition to the growing literature on the history of modern magic. As Butler states, 'It is time to stop apologizing for magic' (x), particularly in the modern period. Her lively synthesis of cultural and intellectual history serves as a valuable contribution to the validity of that field, while also carving out its own significant niche within it." - Karl Bell, Journal of British Studies

"Butler's close attention to the thoughts and activities of the Victorian occultists considered strives to conjure up a bygone moment in history and elicits what meaning it has for us today....The result is a welcome and insightful addition to the
debate on magic." - Leo Ruickbie, The Pomegranate

"[A] rich and stimulating book.'' - Journal of Cultural Economy

"Marres' attention to the material conditions of political participation is not a return to materialism but a deep redefinition of each of those terms: why does politics matter and what does it mean to be involved into politics? Before her a pragmatist view of politics and publics remained abstract, without a clear method to follow the objects, pragmata, that give relevance to the creation of the public. Marres' work deeply renews what it is for the study of politics and participation to take material conditions seriously." - Bruno Latour, Professor, Sciences Po, Paris, France

"Material Participation is a book about the role of objects in political participation. It is part of what has been called the object turn what Noortje Marres, more delightfully, calls the coming out of things. It is an account of how moral and political phenomena may unfold on the plane of things. It deploys a vocabulary of modality, multi-valence, implication, accomplishment, setting and relevance to make visible the middling work of objects. And in doing so offers us the possibility of taking part in a politics of co-articulation, of producing new, more variable kinds of connections between publics, ontology, and the empirical." - Celia Lury, Professor, Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, University of Warwick, UK

Violent Politics is an important addition to the literature on the challenges faced by governments in responding to terrorism and civil unrest. The book is noteworthy for its clarity, trenchant analysis and clear exegesis of both theory and empirical evidence. Addison's first-hand experience as a soldier in Northern Ireland enriches the book immeasurably and provides an invaluable perspective that is too often missing from other academic treatments of this subject.' - Bruce Hoffman, Director of the RAND Washington Office
